Christmas Gift Ideas for Teachers

Finding great Christmas gift ideas for teachers might be a difficult task but it's not impossible. If you think outside the box just a bit, you'll be able to come up with unique presents that are sure to be appreciated.Teachers play an important role in the education of the children.

While there is no requirement for your child to give a holiday gift to his or her teacher, it is a pretty nice way to tell an educator "thank you."

I am a teacher, and I want to share some of the best and worst Christmas gift ideas for educators. With my daughter nearing preschool, I have found myself asking the question of what to give her teachers and caregivers.

A few years ago things were pretty bad financially for everyone in our family. We had family members out of work, family members who were too sick to work, family members who had heaps of medical bills and so on. My mother in law suggested a homemade Christmas that year.

Homemade gifts in a jar are a fun, frugal, and great holiday gift to share with just about any one. In past years I have made homemade Christmas gifts in a jar for girl friends, neighbors, teachers and family. The possibilities are endless, and remember they are a great starter to build a gift basket.
